Lexapro

Gosh.... that name haunts me.  I don't know about you, but you seem like you are doing well with being on Lexapro.  I was on it and it just made me feel worse and more depressed.  I dunno.... it was just MY experience.  I guess your doc should know what is best.  However, I think, that a psychiatrist is better with distributing medication to a patient than a normal family doc/practioner.  Just my two cents.

Not to be nosy or anything, Tabbee, but how old are you and how long have you been married? See, I have a friend of mine who is 31 and hasn't even been married a year and still thinks that her husband made a mistake in marrying her because she is always sick (FMS). He didn't though!!! They can get in a pretty bad agrguement/fight but in the end she knows that he's there for her even if he doesn't say anything or act like it. I am glad that your husband did write you that note :). Hearing things like that make me still believe that when I get old enough (out of college!) I'll be able to find a great guy and marry him and he will be with me through the good and the bad. If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here.

hi everyone. im new in this site.  im just thinking that if i talk with people that are also depressed it may help me feel less alone.  i saw my psychiatrist today for the first time and she is putting me on Lexapro.  I hope something works for me.  I am going crazy.  I feel like i dont love anyone anymore, even my fiance.  But deep down i remeber how i once was and know that i love her.  I used to be so caring about everyone and trying to help people...now i am the one that needs the help.  My fiance sticks by me the whole way she says.  All i really want to know is if relationships go back to the way they once felt once you start feeling better from your depression???  I dont want my depression to ruin what her and i have...im not going to let it.  She is kinda upset with the whole thing and thinks its her fault.  Whenever we plan to do something i always end up falling asleep because i am so fatigued.  Anyways im just rambling on and on right now....i hope i can read some posts with some words of inspiration.  If you cant help at all thats ok...just someone saying hello may make my day feel that little much better.  Thanks MJC

thank you Tabbee, i start taking it today. I just want things to get better for me. I am always anxious and think the worst of EVERYTHING. I want to be my caring self again and want to find the reason WHY i became so depressed. I really do feel alone and im glad i found this web site because i know now that i am not...just in my head i do. I feel like people cant understand what i am going through unless they have or are going through it. People ask...well what do you feel like and how are you feeling right now? If i could tell them that easily i would. Im going nuts. Im gonna go into the Lexapro thinking that its going to work for me...im gonna try to think possitive and not negative. BUt its hard NOT to think negatively when you are in this state of mind. Well thank you all for listening and thank you again Tabbee. -MJC-
